I am going to be shooting a state basketball tournament in a couple of weeks. As a Christmas present my parents are going to pay for me to rent a couple of lenses for the duration of the tournament. I have decided to get a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, but I can't decide if it would be worth it to also get a 200mm f/2 IS or a 300mm f/2.8 IS. It seems that it could be redundant to have a 200mm f/2 IS if I will have the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II. However, the extra stop may be useful in a poorly lit gym. While the 300mm f/2.8 IS would give me more reach, I am not sure if it would be too much reach. It has been awhile since I shot a basketball game.


Unfortunately I can't get my hands on a 1D mark IV, so I will be using my T2i and possibly an XSi as a second body. But hey, it's better than nothing right?


I will also have my 85mm f/1.8 with me.


Or if you want to suggest something completely different that would be cool too!


Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated. []
